We got to spend some time with the the 5-inch Android-powered phone and came away very impressed.

The Xperia Z is packed with the latest technology, putting it in line with some of the best smartphones available right now.

Key features include a full HD Reality Display with the same technology as Sony's television line; a 13-megapixel camera; a dust- and water-resistant chassis; an antiscratch coating; and a quad-core processor.
